Solina V

No strings attached

Before polyphonic synthesizers, there were the string machines. The Solina, made originally by Eminent and
rebranded for Arp, defined a class of sounds that are still as in demand today as ever. The Solina was
probably heard on more albums in the 1970's and 80s than any other single keyboard.

Like fresh Oxygen

We began by modeling the original Solina MK1 from Eminent making sure that the Violin, viola, cello,
horn and trumpet sounds were as rich and warm as the original. The renowned ENSEMBLE effect was
carefully modeled and is a thing of beauty that cannot be found in any of the sample-based string
machines.

Strings and things

Solina V is perfect for that string wash in your Nu Disco tracks or as a phase shifted pad in your
old school electronic music track.

Soaring beyond the past

Besides recreating the original features of the Solina, we took a step further and expanded the sonic palette
beyond anything the original designers could have imagined.

Additional features like the Vox Humana and Resonators from the 1978 Bob Moog polysynth, original paraphonic
and new polyphonic modes of operation, a 24dB per octave filter on the bass section, an LFO, an arpeggiator,
and more all add up to creating the biggest and baddest string machine ever.

Artists Corner

The Solina in particular blows my mind. It’s lush and authentic, I’ve used the real thing on numerous records and this is the only emulation that I’d use.

Artists Corner

For someone who has spent most of their life playing live with real analogue instruments I've always found it so hard to replicate the warmth and fullness with software. Solina bridges that gap so perfectly I imagine my instruments will be gathering dust in my studio now!
